We’re all duped by the Forest Gump kitten variable.

We’ve all been duped.

Evolution has made sure the cat maintains its rule over humans.

Why?

Because this is what we fall for and fall madly in love with. The cute. The cuddly. The innocence. The playfulness.

And then because of that kittenhood, we fully and willfully submit to suffering one-sided relationships with our adult cats for the next 9-20 years while they *sometimes* give us something to keep us coming back for more.

Once in a while, we even get a precious lap cat that keeps us hopeful that the next cat will also be so sweet. But evolutionarily cute kittenhood be damned, we get the Forest Gump variable with each one — you never know what you’re gonna get.

But we still do it.

Why?

Because, cats.
